A couple really nice pieces of gear for ya'll tonight. First up, the Knuckle Quake 5, this time a single-pickup
animal. Amazing bass, 39.5" scale. Then we've got the Fender
TBP-1 preamp, which is surprisingly tubey and versatile. Finally,
the Ampeg SVP-CL which actually lives
up to the name. Check it out!

Something special is here - the first 6
string bolt-on bass that Kenneth Lawrence created, circa 1989. Lots
of you have been asking for a more accessable 5, so here's the Fender
Deluxe V. Also new in the strings dept, the wonderful Sadowsky
Flats. Enjoy!

Something i've always wanted to try, and MAN am I glad I did. Listen
to the Dingwall Afterburner
II. Those fanned frets are a trip, but do the even tension and consistent
tone prove it really works? Listen for yourself.

It was gone for a minute but now it's back - the Epifani
Quest 2 - definitely worth a listen. Speaking of worth, you'll be
amazed at this sleeper - ART Tube
Channel.

Do professional recording preamps compete with the norm? Listen to the Millennia STT-1, with clips both in ss
and tube modes.
